2kg Roast Beef

Mrs Seabiscuit · 26 Sep 2013 at 17:46

Ok i have a 2kg joint of beef I am going to slow cook. How long do you suggest i do it for? i was thinking 10-11 hours? How do i prepare it? I want this to be a really juicy and tasty piece of meat, also what herbs shall I use? I am unable to put anything with any hint of warmth on it? I have an open bottle of red wine from saturday and most herbs you can think of and most cupboard essentials. SO HELP LA

I wouldn't slow roast it. Not the right cut to slow roast as it'll end up too dry.

I'd cook 2kg for (20min per ~450g) plus 20mins end for medium, then rest for 40mins. You want about 2hr cooking time, but if you have an internal thermometer take it out when the meat is about 55-60c in the very middle, as it'll continue to cook when you rest it too.

** No need for that comment *** slow roasting stuff leaves the meat tender and moist slow cookers are designed that way.

What makes it in particular easy to carve? What have they done to it?

Do you slow roast every kind of meat then? Would you slow roast a chicken breast? Fillet of beef?

Good luck with that. You obviously know what you're doing since you had to ask in the first place. How about you go **** it up with your long ass cook. If you cook it in a slow cooker, for example, you want to ensure you have a ton of moisture/ liquid, which then isn't roasting, it's braising it, but you know.

Yes I put every kind of meat in and it works perfectly. I have never put 2kg in that is why I asked ** please keep your complaints off the forums and stick to the RTM system please ** ALso fyi there is liquid in the slow cooker just enough to cover the bottom of it.

Slow roasted, and using a slow cooker are 2 different methods. I don't recommend slow roasting a top rump as it WILL dry out. Using a slow cooker is different, as you will ultimately be braising the meat in the juices and liquid.

cooking in a slow cooker is not roasting. Your titled was slow cooked "Roast Beef" which is completely different. That 22hr beef is not roasted.

Well i am terribly sorry But if you had read the post properly you will have picked up that it was going in the slow cooker!

Not once did you mention a slow cooker in your post. You said you would slow cook.

So I am doing slow braised then in hardly any juice for 11 hours, and then putting it on a baking tray in center of hot oven at the end for 10 mins to colour the outter crust. Then i will leave it to rest. :mad:

Me too, don't know why I'm in here

Happy Friday Mrs SB!

P.S I would never slow cook in an oven. Have never used a slow cooker? They are quite different.

I touch them.

Just so you know.

^_^

Edit: Not slow cookers. But I will admit that I am tempted. I like the sound of the 60c slow cooking that FrenchTart suggests, but for how long? How long is 'loads of time'?

Which reminds me. I always fancied slow cooking in fire-less haybox.

They are ace ours cost us 15 quid and we use it loads especially in the winter.

Just to add, with regards to the confusion, it might helped if you had said 2kg of beef to put in the slow cooker, rather than "2kg roast beef"

Just leave it now the misunderstanding has been sorted thank you very much.
